Its a Grizzly. I figure its 55 or earlier based on the stickers and not silkscreens. I have been giver estimates from anywhere from 53-56.
Dual Shelf Grizzly 55 lbs. The guys dad shot it mainly with field archery but hunted a little. He died in 59. The bow has sat since but the owner shot it a few years back.

Charlie,
It's a 1955.
-
Charlie, Awesome!!! Like we talked about before since it has black glass and underlays it is a '55 or '56.
Great Score!
-
Jack is most likely correct that it is a '55 due to the stickers instead of silkscreens.
-
WOW....3 years after I was born.....neat!
-
Nice Charlie. That thing will shoot good. Be sure to look it over before stringing up tho.
It is just like the one we talked about.

Wow!!!
-
Yeah, I've got it's twin, and had identified it as a '55. Can't tell which is the "prettier sister"! Mine is S/N GF668, 51#. Nice, nice, nice. Love shooting those old statics! They were lots better than most imagine. The compass Kodiak was a really sweet shooting bow, but it didn't perform with the statics from these years(tho it sure had less shock!)
-
Way to go Charlie, so it looks like your offer was accepted. One more new toy for your collection. Hope when I am out there in May, we can shoot some of them. Just a little buck came in last night. The big guy has not been around since Sunday.
Have a great day!!
-
Great find Charlie. That bow is sweet and those arrow boxes are in great shape!
Glad you got them.
-
Great bow...I personally love these old dual shelfers...
-
How do these old dual shelfers shoot? I shoot right and left handed, thought it would be neat to sit in a stand and be able to shoot from either direction.
-
I put a string on it tonight without a blow up. Now I will make a string for it and see what it shoots like.
I have a feeling there will be some shock but nothing worse than a hill bow. If you find a way to reduce it or dont mind some thump, you will probably enjoy it. I already think I will be able to shoot it well. I had a cub with a similar profile and shot it well RH but wasn't so good LH. probably from lack of practice.
I had my 58 Grizz out today. That is a great shooting bow!
